Hey, check it out, this is the first video of Chapter 1: The Accounting Equation. It's thrilling. You're going to love it!
Hello there, I'm Aaron. I designed and coded this site, recorded all these videos, and wrote all the practice problems. I got my Undergrad and Master's in Accounting and then went on to get my CPA License (exciting, right?). I worked at Ernst and Young for about a year but never really loved it, so I quit and became a programmer. I do love accounting though, and I love teaching it, which is why I made this site. Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any questions!
A couple of bits of info about the site:
- I've recorded 84 videos, which means you get 845 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 70 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 11 chapters of Accy 201.
- You can email me anytime at [email protected].

Chapter 1
Introduction to Accounting
I can learn a lot from your videos and they are easy to understand. I have a better understanding after watching your videos which also helped me get a better result for my previous semester.
— Olivia, Fall 2017
Chapter 2
Recording Transactions
I stopped going to class after the second test and pretty much just watched your chapter videos.
— Ryan, Spring 2016
Chapter 3
Adjusting Accounts
I wanna say thank you very much for doing the videos. I just got my grade and I made an A in accounting, and I must say I owe it to you and your videos.
— Daniel, Spring 2016
Chapter 4
Merchandising Firms
Your site is the reason I did so well in accounting! I wish I had something like that for my economics classes! Good work!
— Katie C., Spring 2016
Chapter 5
Inventories
I slacked a bit this unit, didn’t read the book, just went to lectures and took notes, and did the required quizzes. I ended up having to cram over the last two days before the test and your site has been tremendously helpful with that.
— Oakley, Fall 2017
Chapter 6
Cash and Bank Reconciliations
Thank you so much for the videos you put together. They are a tremendous help and I really appreciate all that you do!
— Conner, Fall 2015
Chapter 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
Your site was the reason I got an A. This was the most helpful website, and your videos were extremely clear. I am so thankful it was recommended to me and I recommend it to anyone who really wants to understand and do well in the course.
— Kaitlyn C., Fall 2019
Chapter 8
Long Term Assets
It definitely helped me make sense of the last couple chapters before the final when things in class started going over my head. I like that you use visuals and diagrams as well as going through examples. The visual for the breakdown of authorized stock is an example of one I found extremely helpful.
— Caitlin, Spring 2016
Chapter 9
Current Liabilities
These videos alone helped me get a B in accounting this semester. I didn't go to class at all. Thanks so much!
— Natalia, Spring 2016
Chapter 10
Long Term Liabilities
Thank you for saving my semester. You rock.
— Caitlin, Fall 2017
Chapter 11
Capital Stock
The videos were clear and easy to understand and the breakdown into short simple videos was nice. That way you weren't having to watch an hour long lecture when all you needed was 5 minutes of information.
— Kyle, Spring 2016
